Escapism. Lyrics

[Intro: RAYE]
Sleazin' and teasin', I'm sittin' on him
All of my diamonds are drippin' on him
I met him at the bar, it was twelve or something
I ordered two more wines 'cause tonight, I want him

[Verse 1: Bemshima]
Yea

You brought me pain with this dimension
My vision been blurry from sipping through ablution
It’s bottle of showers, Hennessy meets incision
Barely breathing, stuck between a dream and perdition

Heresy with it
Love was my religion
Til you tore my heart into pieces, you fucking demon

Get away
Get away
See I don’t need ya
Buried deep in a pile of high and steam for amnesia

[Verse 2: Bemshima]
Mary had a lamb but you had me
Cuz I was fucking stupid
I moved likе a sheep packed in khaki
A soldier
But your Mr. Ass-Wipe-With
Calm, whilе you played me, your Mr. Fantastic

It’s 16 bars of I’m regretting
Cuz paradise with you quickly turned Armageddon

High on my get on
Ketamine, Pyrex some
Thought I was in love but in truth, a nigga was led on

[Pre-Chorus: RAYE]
...my old ways

[Chorus: RAYE]
'Cause I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
Take this pain away
You're askin' me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel
